• Provide technical direction across building electrical systems, HVAC, central plants, BAS/BMS, controls, electrification, lighting, energy efficiency, and infrastructure modernization.
• Participate in project planning, design reviews, constructability discussions, estimating, technical decision-making, and risk mitigation.
• Work closely with construction management and project leadership to ensure engineering solutions support successful project execution.
• Serve as a senior technical and client-facing resource on complex projects and key accounts.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders.

• Significant progressive experience within MEP engineering, building systems, energy, design-build, or related engineering environments.
• Proven experience leading engineers, technical teams, projects, or engineering functions.
• Strong understanding of multidisciplinary building systems, including electrical and mechanical infrastructure.
• Experience with complex commercial, healthcare, higher education, institutional, or public-sector facilities.
• Experience working within design-build, construction management, or integrated engineering/construction environments strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to oversee project budgets, schedules, staffing, resources, technical quality, and risk.
• Strong client-facing communication and relationship management skills.
• Ability to provide credible technical leadership without needing to personally perform all engineering production.
• Experience with healthcare and/or higher education facilities is highly valued.
